Touring/commuter bike

Finished this up in December and have been riding to work a 2-3 days per week. The frame came in at 6lbs 10oz before paint. A little hefty but the thing is rock solid. Doesn't have much lateral flex and feels very solid on the road.


Erik and I just did a ride from Sedro Woolley to Bellingham and we went through Galbraith and the damn thing even likes the muddy single track!! Lost a pannier once but that's to be expected as low as I mounted them on the Custom Rack I made for the Salsa Vaya fork.

Bike #5 - Downhill Bike

I designed and welded up this 9" travel Downhill Bike.  The concentric pivot has NO pedal bob, its really fun. I rode this several days up at Whistler in 2015 and it was a blast. Handles the rough stuff really well!!
